Library to Celebrate 20 Years

August 27 will shape up to be an exciting day for White County Public Library. To celebrate two very special occasions, the library will host a special event from 9-11 in the morning. Firstly, the library will be celebrating 20 years at 11 North Church Street. In this edition’s “This Week in White County History,” we share the ribbon-cutting from that event back in 2006. All these years later, the library is still standing strong behind Cathy Farley’s leadership.

In addition is the proper dedication for the completed mural on the wall next to the library, facing Bockman Way. Tommy Narramore’s project has been finished for a few weeks now, and the library has been posting videos on Facebook discussing the long history documented on the mural. From Scott’s Gulf Wilderness to Oldham Theater and more, a lot of Sparta’s artistic, creative, and industrial history is depicted in Narramore’s beautifully painted tapestry.

The library is excited to host its anniversary and ribbon-cutting on August 27 to celebrate decades of service and their new, wonderful mural dedicated to the county’s history.
